Snail

ℹ️ Snails, gastropod mollusks, are known for their spiral shells and slow, deliberate movement. Found in diverse habitats worldwide, from forests to deserts, they play vital roles in ecosystems as decomposers and prey. Their unique anatomy includes a muscular foot for locomotion and a radula for feeding on plants, algae, and decaying matter. Snails exhibit remarkable diversity, with species ranging from tiny garden snails to giant African land snails. Some, like the cone snail, possess venomous harpoons for hunting prey. Despite their seemingly sluggish pace, snails are successful survivors, adapting to various environments and serving as indicators of environmental health.
